FSV Mainz 05 II struggled to break down this setup, despite creating more opportunities through ten corner kicks compared to the home side's five.

Discipline, or rather the lack of it, played a crucial role in this match. Both teams were heavily penalized with yellow cards, the home team collecting three and the visitors four. This resulted in a game that was frequently interrupted, disrupting the flow and rhythm, particularly affecting Mainz's ability to mount consistent attacks. Both teams managed to avoid red cards, which kept the playing numbers even, but overall, the high number of cards reflected a tense and closely contested physical encounter.

Teamwork favored SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz as they successfully managed to maintain their narrow lead. Despite having fewer corner opportunities, they outperformed Mainz in organizing their defense and maintaining structure, which proved critical.

The home team's effective defense and strategic fouling disrupted Mainz's offensive initiatives, ultimately leading to their victory.
